1. Create a folder in your local machine to get  copy of Airavata (E.g.: mkdir LocalAiravata). Clone the source (If you have not taken a clone prior) code from github (git clone https://github.com/apache/airavata.git) to the above created folder.
2. After the above is completed build the source code by executing following maven command;
   mvn clean install
   Hint: Use mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true to avoid tests and is recommended for first timers.

3. Copy the tar file to your local folder created above in step 1
   cp airavata/modules/distribution/server/target/apache-airavata-server-0.15-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz ./
   OR
   cp airavata/modules/distribution/server/target/apache-airavata-server-0.15-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip ./ 

4. In the new location where the copied tar/zip file exists; unzip either the tar or zip file of Airavata server distribution using

   unzip apache-airavata-server-0.14-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip

   OR

   tar -xvf apache-airavata-server-0.14-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz

5. Navigate to bin folder which contains file airavata-server.properties;

   cd apache-airavata-server-0.14-SNAPSHOT/bin

   Hint: For users who downloaded the already built version can directly navigate to this bin folder to start Airavata server.

6. Open the airavata-server.properties (vi airavata-server.properties) file and update relevant necesary proerpties to run Airavata locally.

7. In bin start the Airavata server; This may require JAVA_HOME to be defined. Some configurations such as in  bin/zoo.cfg and bin/airavata-server.properties  may have to be adjusted if some ports are already in use. Ports need to be open as well.

   sh airavata-server.sh start (This will run the airavata server in the backgroud in demon mode)

   If you are in the target folder use given to start Airavata server;

   sh apache-airavata-server-0.14-SNAPSHOT/bin/airavata-server.sh start

8. To monitor the server starting up, view the airavata server log;

   tail -f airavata-server.out

9. For subsequent Airavata copiesupdates; in the local Airavata folder where source code is cloned, do a git clone https://github.com/apache/airavata.git for the latest trunk. Continue from step 2 under 'Start Airavata' in this tutorial.
